a foreign language has to be bicultural as well as bilingual to speak the new language in a way that it is not disparaging to the culture and its origin.Language does not end at the meaning or the use of words associated to a cultures words represent beliefs,history,and the culture of their origin and they must be used accordingly.,16,The significance of cultural learning in learning

language.,In the view of this,we can know that language is an inseparable or integral part of culture,and the medium through which culture is acquired.,18,Thank you!,19,
